Sabby

[maierar]

Has anyone any experience with a Sabby stone? It is a smooth, white stone intended for safety razors. I was trying to find out if and how it can be used for a straight razor, and if not, why not.

Most stones designed for safety razors cannot be used with a straight. safety razors are manufactured, very thin blades totally different in composition from straights. Actually they sold these glass sharpeners like the lilicraps which were designed to sharpen DE blades. You can experiment with it and report back to us with the results but I wouldn't try with a really good razor.

Save your money. I don't understand how a blade can be sharpened if it never touches the stone per "Unique polarized mineral composition actually 'hones' and 'tunes up' your
safety razors. Note - Blades never make contact with stone."

Lets for the sake of argument say that the thing actually works. Since they say that the stone never touches the blade(s), I think it would work more like a strop than a hone, just aligning the fins of the edge and not actually sharpening anything.

Nonsense. Why not just put your razor under a pyramid at night and it will be automatically honed and cleaned by the morning.
